The shitty thing for pepes is that if they aren't in fat city like wall street and the ruling class, they're screwed when the downturn comes.

I bet a lot of those factory workers bought the con.

Higher costs and US companies aren't even able to fill in lost inventory due to plant closure and poor planning on the Executive part. That's called a bad business plan.

And where is this glorious deal with China that Trump keeps touting?

Ford was to get funds from the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF), which is a government program for auto, student, and other consumer loans. These were very low-cost government loans to the tune of $5.9 billion that helped Ford tip-toe past bankruptcy and overhaul their factories to bring out more fuel-efficient technology. The Obama administration's plans of having a million electric cars on the road by 2015 were being funneled through Ford and two other companies (Nissan and Tesla)...........................So instead of going Bankrupt 10 years ago like they should have, you are mad that we are not throwing another $6 Billion in their hole????

Ford says it is the tariffs. I'll stick with their version.
